My son enjoys making stuff, but there are certain crafts that really get him excited. Superhero crafts. Star Wars crafts. Things that he can go and play with. The ones where he turns to me and says ‘thank you mummy’ with a look of glee in his eyes. I’m sure that lots of these are things that girls would like to make too (my daughter is obsessed with Batman and I’m hardly going to tell her that she can’t do ‘boy stuff’) but I also know that there are some crafts that boys will do and some crafts that boys will really, really want to do. So this is my little round up of the coolest and most fun crafts for boys, the ones they’ll thank you for.
Crafts for kids
Sponge Printed Death Star Craft
Every now and again I do a craft with my kids that I really, super love. Don’t get me wrong, I love all the kids crafts and activities that we do but one or two really stand out for me as the ones that will always put a big grin on my face. Ladies and gentlemen, this is that post. Today, it’s a Death Star craft. I haven’t been doing so much crafting with my son recently, we’ve always loved doing superhero crafts and activities but he’s really been into drawing recently, but we watched Return of the Jedi at the weekend and I just knew that he would love this. Oh, and hey, I did too. Did I mention that?
Potato Masher Rainbow Craft for Toddlers
The weather seems dominated by grey, grey dull days at the moment and frankly I’ve had enough! We love sharing weather crafts and activities and rainbow crafts for kids are normally super popular around spring and St Patrick’s Day but frankly I can’t wait that long – we need more rainbow crafts now! We love crafts for toddlers and this simple activity was really easy to set up and make a a nice change for my toddler to using a paintbrush, I think it makes a pretty cool paint effect too and it’s easy to set up even if you don’t have all the colours you need!
Recycled CD Valentines Day Craft for Preschoolers
This fun little Valentines Day craft for preschoolers is a great way to use up old CDs or DVDs that you have lying around (man was I happy to see the back of some of those DVD’s!) and gives young kids the chance to try out painting on a fun new surface. This is possibly more of a process art than a craft as there’s no strict way that it should look at the end, but I think it’s good for preschoolers to do crafting without too much adult influence. My two year old certainly enjoyed making these! I’ve included below a couple of ideas for things to do with them afterwards too and how different age preschoolers might do this Valentine’s Day craft differently.
